Phase-II
In the upcoming phase-II, our emphasis will be on utilizing passive samplers for estuarine pollutant monitoring, alongside the collection of global estuarine sediment samples. Interested collaborators are encouraged to complete the registration questionnaire to receive further instructions. The official launch of the second phase is anticipated for August 2026.
Phase-II Methodology
Passive Sampling Method
For partners in China Mainland, please click the following link to watch the video:
Please send back to Hong Kong only the following items for each estuary with four sampling locations:
-
the aluminium foil bag containing passive sampling materials after 14 days of sampling phase and the field blank passive sampling materials (9 (New polymer)+9 (Smart sponge)+9 (SPMDs)=27 seal bags)
-
the aluminium foil bags with sediment samples (3 duplicates (>50 g)*4 locations+4 locations (>100 g)=16 bags), and the aluminium foil bag used as the field blank sample (4 bags)
-
the sedimentary DNA samples (3 duplicates*4 locations+4 field control =16 tubes).
Please ensure that all samples are stored in a -20 degree freezer before dispatch, and utilize ice packs during the shipping process to maintain the samples at the required temperature.
